Synthesis of protein, RNA and DNA was studied in skin fibroblast cultures of healthy donors and patients with systemic scleroderma (SSD) and in those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with the use of 14C-protein hydrolyzate, 14C-uridine and 14C-thymidine, respectively. A study was also made of the stimulation of 14C-proline incorporation in protein fibroblasts upon addition to serum-free media of 5% bovine embryonic serum. The stability of RNA in fibroblasts was tested. It was shown that the rate of protein synthesis was 11 times higher in fibroblasts of RA patients and 6 times higher in those of SSD patients as compared to the rate of protein synthesis in fibroblasts of normal subjects. The rate of DNA synthesis in skin fibroblasts of RA patients was 15 times higher and in those of SSD patients 4 times higher than normal. In both RA and SSD patients, the synthesis of short-labeled RNA was 2-3 times higher than normal. The addition of embryonic serum increased 2-3 times the incorporation of 14C-proline in protein skin fibroblasts of SSD patients. It was found that all RNA in skin fibroblasts was represented by long-living molecules and that 30-40% of short-labeled RNA in skin fibroblasts of healthy donors and SSD patients underwent degradation within 1-2 hours. The data obtained indicate that fibroblasts of the two pathologies under study are characterized by considerable differences in the synthesis of DNA and the activity of the protein-synthesizing system. 相似文献

Poly(A)+ (polyadenylated) RNA was isolated from vitellogenic female-locus fat-body by LiCl/urea extraction and poly(U)-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. Agarose-gel electrophoresis of this poly(A)+ RNA under denaturing conditions shows the presence of a high-molecular-weight species (greater than 31 S, 7100 nucleotides) as the major species, which is absent from the RNA prepared from male-locust fat-body. Inclusion of this poly(A)+ RNA in a mRNA-dependent reticulocyte-lysate system directs the synthesis of polypeptides that could be immunoprecipitated with monospecific antibodies against locust egg vitellin. DNA complementary (cDNA) to the poly(A)+ RNA was synthesized, and back-hybridization of the cDNA to its template reveals a major abundant species comprising about 45% of the total poly(A)+ RNA hybridizing with R0t 1/2 of 2 x 10(-2) mol . litre-1 . s. Abundant cDNA isolated from the total cDNA hybridizes to poly(A)+ RNA with a R0t 1/2 of 9 x 10(-3) mol . litre-1 . s. There are 9.1 x 10(3) copies of vitellogenin mRNA per cell of vitellogenic female-locust fat-body, comprising 55% of the poly(A)+ RNA and equivalent to 0.7% of total cellular RNA. 相似文献

The stored poly(A) + RNA from zoospores of the aquatic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii represents 2.5% of the total RNA and has a model MW of 425,000 daltons and an average poly(A) isostich of 32 bases. The poly(A) + RNA also represents 2.5% of the total RNA from early growth phase cells and has a modal MW of 360,000 daltons and an average poly(A) isostich of 38 bases. The poly(A) + RNA from spores and 2-hr plants contains a structure resistant to RNases T1, T2, and A, which can be labeled with 32PO4 and which will bind to DBAE-cellulose. These characteristics strongly suggest that both the zoospore poly(A) + RNA and the 2-hr cell poly(A) + RNA are capped at the 5′ end; and, hence, it is unlikely that capping is involved in the control of protein synthesis during germination.Approximately 80% of the poly(A) + RNA of the spore is located in the membrane-enclosed ribosomal nuclear cap, and more than 90% of the poly(A) + RNA within the cap is found in the 80S monoribosome and heavier fractions.Synthesis of new poly(A) + RNA occurs very early during zoospore germination, and the labeled poly(A) + RNA rapidly enters the newly organized polysomes. The labeling data for early germination also suggest that cytoplasmic polyadenylation occurs. 相似文献

Summary The polyamines influence the activity of many enzymes involved in the synthesis and degradation of RNA. These organic cations (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) stimulate, for example, many DNA-dependent RNA polymerases and affect both RNA chain elongation and initiation. The polyamines also bind to polynucleotides, forming complexes having, in many cases, physical properties quite distinct from the parent polymer. Some of these complexes are resistent to ribonuclease mediated hydrolysis. However, polyamines alter the activity, as well as the specificity of some RNases, so the actual rate of breakdown of RNA is dependent on the interaction of polyamine with both RNA and enzyme. The hydrolytic rate may also be controlled by the presence of purine homopolymer, which acts to strongly inhibit RNase activity. The addition of polyadenylic acid tracts to the 3 terminus of the RNA substrate, for example, protects the unpolyadenylated portion of the RNA molecule from degradation. Longer segments of poly(A) are more effective in this respect; however, regardless of poly(A) length, low concentrations of spermidine reverse the inhibition of RNase activity, with concomitant rapid degradation of the unpolyadenylated portion of the RNA molecule. Thus, RNA degradation depends not only on the presence of RNase, but on poly(A) length and spermidine concentration as well. Although the relative importance, within the cell, of each of these interactions is not known, the above mechanisms illustrate certain of the complexities and interrelations that may exist for the synthesis and, in particular, the RNase mediated degradation of RNA.A submitted article 相似文献

An immunochemical binding assay was used to investigate the reactivity of radioactively labeled viral RNAs from poliovirus-infected cells with antibodies to the synthetic double-stranded RNA, poly(I)-poly(C). A RNase-free antibody-containing serum fraction was employed. Poliovirus replicative form reacted with the antibodies to poly(I)-poly(C) as well as or better than poly(I)-poly(C). Poliovirus replicative intermediate reacted with the antibodies to a greater extent than poliovirus single-stranded RNA, but both were less reactive than replicative form. The use of the immunochemical binding assay with sucrose-gradient fractions demonstrated that for both poliovirus single-stranded RNA and replicative form the peak of reactivity with the antibodies was coincident with the peak of radioactive material precipitated by trichloroacetic acid. The proportion of replicative intermediate that reacted with the antibody increased in sucrose-gradient fractions containing the more slowly sedimenting RI RNA. 相似文献

Polyadenylated [poly(A)+] RNA molecules have been isolated from Methanococcus vannielii by oligodeoxythymidylate-cellulose affinity chromatography at 4 degrees C. Approximately 16% of the label in RNA isolated from cultures allowed to incorporate [3H]uridine for 3 min at 37 degrees C was poly(A)+ RNA. In contrast, less than 1% of the radioactivity in RNA labeled over a period of several generations was contained in poly(A)+ RNA molecules. Electrophoretic separation of poly(A)+ RNA molecules showed a heterogeneous population with mobilities indicative of sizes ranging from 900 to 3,000 bases in length. The population of poly(A)+ RNA molecules was found to have a half-life in vivo of approximately 12 min. Polyadenylate [poly(A)] tracts were isolated by digestion with RNase A and RNase T1 after 3' end labeling of the poly(A)+ RNA with RNA ligase. These radioactively labeled poly(A) oligonucleotides were shown by electrophoresis through DNA sequencing gels to average 10 bases in length, with major components of 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 bases. The lengths of these poly(A) sequences are in agreement with estimates obtained from RNase A and RNase T1 digestions of [3H]adenine-labeled poly(A)+ RNA molecules. Poly(A)+ RNA molecules from M. vannielii were labeled at their 5' termini with T4 polynucleotide kinase after dephosphorylation with calf intestine alkaline phosphatase. Pretreatment of the RNA molecules with tobacco acid pyrophosphatase did not increase the amount of phosphate incorporated into poly(A)+ RNA molecules by polynucleotide kinase, indicating that the poly(A)+ RNA molecules did not have modified bases (caps) at their 5' termini. The relatively short poly(A) tracts, the lack of 5' cap structures, and the instability of the poly(A)+ RNA molecules isolated from M. vannielii indicate that these archaebacterial poly(A)+ RNAs more closely resemble eubacterial mRNAs than eucaryotic mRNAs. 相似文献

RNA was isolated and fractionated into poly(A)-containing and -deficient classes by oligo(dT) chromatography. Approximately 99% of the poly(A) material bound to the oligo(dT); that which did not bind contained substantially shorter poly(A) chains. All RNA fractions retained an ability to initiate cell-free translation, with the poly(A)-deficient fraction containing half the total translational activity, i.e., mRNA. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel analysis of the cell-free translation products revealed three classes of mRNA: 1, mRNA preferentially containing poly(A), including the abundant liver mRNA species; 2, poly(A)-deficient mRNA, including many mid- and low-abundant mRNAs exhibiting less than 10% contamination in the poly(A)-containing fraction fraction; and 3, bimorphic species of mRNA proportioned between both the poly(A)-containing and -deficient fractions. Poly(A)-containing and bimorphic mRNA classes were further characterized by cDNA hybridizations. The capacity of various RNA fractions to prime cDNA synthesis was determined. Compared to total RNA, the poly(A)-containing RNA retained 70% of the priming capacity, while 20% was found in the poly(A)-deficient fraction. Poly(A)-containing, poly(A)-deficient, and total RNA fractions were hybridized to cDNAs synthesized from (+)poly(A)RNA. Poly(A)-containing RNA hybridized with an average R0t 1/2 approximately 20 times faster than total RNA. Poly(A)-deficient RNA hybridized with an average R0t 1/2 approximately 3-4 times slower than total RNA. These R0t 1/2 shifts indicated that in excess of three-quarters of the total hybridizable RNA was recovered in the poly(A)-containing fraction and that less than one-quarter was recovered in the poly(A)-deficient RNA fraction. Abundancy classes were less distinct in heterologous hybridizations. In all cases the extent of hybridization was similar, indicating that while the amount of various mRNA species varied among the RNA fractions, most hybridizing species of RNA were present in each RNA fraction. cDNA to the abundant class of mRNAs was purified and hybridized to both (+)- and (-)poly(A)RNA. Messenger RNA corresponding to the more abundant species was enriched in the poly(A)-containing fraction at least 2-fold over the less abundant species of mRNA, with less than 10% of the abundant mRNAs appearing inthe poly(A)-deficient fraction. 相似文献

The total RNA from cells infected with Machupo and Lassa viruses as well as poly(A+) and poly(A-) fractions of the RNA were translated in the cell-free protein synthesizing system from rabbit reticulocytes. The translated products were treated with specific antibodies and analyzed in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Only poly(A-) fraction of RNA coded for the synthesis of NP protein in vitro. The mRNAs for NP protein of Machupo and Lassa viruses are supposed to contain no poly(A) sequences at 3'end, or if they really do, the size of the sequences is not adequate for binding with oligo(dT)-cellulose. 相似文献

Association of poly(A) polymerase with U1 RNA 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Previous studies (Stetler, D. A., and Jacob, S. T. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 7239-7244) have shown that poly(A) polymerase from adult rat liver (liver-type) is structurally and immunologically distinct from the corresponding rat hepatoma (tumor-type) enzyme. When hepatoma 7777 (McA-RH 7777) cells were labeled with [32P]inorganic phosphate, followed by immunoprecipitation with anti-hepatoma poly(A) polymerase antibodies and analysis of the RNAs in the immunoprecipitate, only one labeled small nuclear RNA corresponding to U1 RNA was found. Preimmune sera did not form a complex with U1 RNA. Hepatoma poly(A) polymerase antisera did not immunoprecipitate U1 RNA or any other small nuclear RNA from a cell line (H4-11-EC3) which does not contain the tumor-type poly(A) polymerase. Immunoblot analysis of hepatoma 7777 nuclear extract or purified poly(A) polymerase with anti-ribonucleoprotein antisera did not show any cross-reactivity of the latter sera with poly(A) polymerase. The major RNA immunoprecipitated from the hepatoma nuclear extracts using trimethyl cap (m3G) antisera corresponded to the RNA immunoprecipitated with poly(A) polymerase antisera. These data indicate that U1 RNA is closely associated with poly(A) polymerase and suggest the potential involvement of this RNA in the cleavage/polyadenylation of mRNA precursor. 相似文献

Premeiotic and postmeiotic (haploid) gene expression during spermatogenesis in the anuran, Xenopus laevis, was studied by analyzing the accumulation of radioactively labelled cytoplasmic polyadenylated [poly (A +)] and non-polyadenylated [poly (A -)] RNAs. Dissociated spermatogenic cells were labelled and maintained in an in vitro system capable of supporting cell differentiation. Labelled cells were separated by density gradient centrifugation into subpopulations enriched for individual spermatogenic stages. RNA was extracted and purified from each cell fraction, and separated into poly (A +) and poly (A -) species. Comparison of poly (A +) to non-poly (A) radioactivity in cells labelled with tritiated uridine or adenosine demonstrated that (1) all cell fractions produced significant quantities of polyadenylated RNA relative to total RNA synthesis; and (2) that a cell fraction enriched for pachytene spermatocyte RNA contained up to 15% of total cytoplasmic and 35% of total polysomal RNA labelled as poly (A +) containing species. RNA was also characterized by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. All cell types showed typical poly (A -) peaks of 4S, 18S and 28S, corresponding to tRNA (4S) and rRNAs (18, 28S) respectively. Spermatids and spermatozoa had additional absorbance peaks at 13 and 21S which cosedimented with Xenopus oocyte mitochondrial rRNA. Patterns of incorporation of uridine and adenosine into poly (A +) RNA in all germ cell fractions tested were complex. In all cases, major areas of radioactivity were found in a broad band sedimenting between 6-17S. Spermatid fractions showed a prominent peak of incorporation at 6-8S, while pachytene cells also showed heavier poly (A +) peaks in the 17-25S region. A non-polyadenylated RNA species sedimenting at 6-8S with a relatively rapid rate of turnover was also observed in spermatids. From these results it is concluded that synthesis of transfer, ribosomal, and putative messenger RNA species continues in spermatogenic cells throughout all but the very last stages of spermatogenesis in Xenopus. 相似文献

The messenger RNA coding for the egg white proteins ovalbumin, ovomucoid, and lysozyme were isolated by immunoadsorption of polysomes synthesizing these proteins. Monospecific antibodies against ovalbumin, ovomucoid, and lysozyme, raised in rabbits, were reacted with chicken oviduct polysomes. The antibody-polysome complexes were isolated by immunoadsorption onto sheep anti-rabbit antibodies coupled to an insoluble matrix. The specifically bound polysomes were eluted and the mRNA was obtained by poly(U)-Sepharose chromatography. The three specific RNAs were further purified by preparative gel electrophoresis. The purity of the mRNA preparations was demonstrated by analytical gel electrophoresis, the capability to direct the synthesis of specific protein products in a wheat germ cell-free system, and by hybridization to cDNA transcribed from mRNAoa and mRNAomu. Purified mRNAoa was shown to contain less than 0.1% mRNAomu and purified mRNAomu was about 99% pure with respect to mRNAoa. Purified mRNAly was contaminated with mRNAoa to 0.34% and with mRNAomu to 2.9%. 相似文献

The extent to which the poly(A)(+)RNA sequence complexity from sea-urchin embryos is also represented in poly(A)(-)RNA was determined by cDNA cross-hybridization. Eighty percent or more of both the cytoplasmic poly(A)(+)RNA and polysomal poly(A)(+)RNA sequences appeared in a poly(A)(-) form. In both cases, the cellular concentrations of the poly(A)(-)RNA molecules that reacted with the cDNA were similar to the concentrations of the homologous poly(A)(+) sequences. Additionally, few, if any, abundant poly(A)(+)mRNA molecules were quantitatively discriminated by polyadenylation, since the abundant poly(A)(+)sequences were also abundant in poly(A)(-)RNA. Neither degradation nor inefficient binding to oligo (dT)-cellulose can account for the observed cross-reactivity. These data indicate that, in sea-urchin embryos, the poly(A) does not regulate the utilization of mRNA by demarcating an mRNA subset that is specifically and completely polyadenylated. 相似文献
